  1. Have a look at a V8 some time.
  2. In Victoria after a certain age, the licence period shortens and you have to make a health Declaration (the one RA pilots fell in love with). Don’t try to fudge it because you only need a small accident and if you aren’t fit it’s trouble big time.
  3. RC stands for Radio Control. The Aerobatic class has approval to operate in the Danger Zones of the Moorabbin Training area up to 1000 feet.
  4. They're about the size of an RC Aerobatic aicraft.
  5. If you think its a training wheel better to leave it on the trailer.
  6. .............like extreme blondes (NTTIAWWT) tended to disappoint, particularly when the big ends started knocking. Turbo had been lurking around the hangar trying to get a photo to put in the Silly photos category before this monster spilt its guts all over the airport, when he came across an old Jab in need of a good wash. It had what used to be called a dickie seat behind the other two. The pilot was working on the engine with an over-sized wrench, then another came out from the workshop holding a freshly washed set of grommets followed by another one pushing a trolley. They all looked the same; they all sounded the same; when one winked, the others winked; when one spoke the others spoke in the same tone and syntax. They were identical twins. Turbo called Cappy over and whispered ...............
  7. It's not an upgrade, looks like a classic development. Figures about right for that.
  8. Piper Archer, 180 hp, non-tapered constant chord wing is a PA-28-180 (PA-28-181 - the 1 denotes taper) The PA-28 family is a big one and they fly differently: https://www.pilotmall.com/blogs/news/piper-archer-the-reliable-family-flyer#:~:text=The family of aircraft which,and PA-28-160 Cherokee
  9. ........Four on the floor, because that's mostly where these grossly over-engined T-Birds stayed. In that respect they were pretty much like aircraft with radial engines, which ..............
  10. ...........the metallic grinding disappeared from the exhaust crackle and his undies stretched to reveal the brown and green stains which onlookers often took to be camo patterns - jungle camo. This Thruster was unusual in that it ...................
  11. .....purple putrification indicated that maybe not, so he asked CT to start it. CT made a half-hearted effort, so Cappy grabbed the starter cord and yanked it with his considerable bulk. The Bluehead crackled into life as if it had only been running yesterday. Cappy started to adjust the ..........................
  12. A lot of puppets in the air this time of year.
  13. Good perception, good action taken, probably a lot of money about to be saved. One guy I now solved this by flying 30 minutes every week then went on a decent flight when he wanted to. The other possibility is that when you can spend the hours, you at least have the financial bundle to do a concentrated two oir three weeks of restraining and get back in the groove fast.
